Gary Rowett could have talismanic defender Michael Morrison available for this weekend’s trip to Cardiff City - but Callum Reilly’s loan spell has been cut short by injury.

The Birmingham City boss revealed Morrison, who has not played since January 27 because of an ankle problem, has trained untroubled for a week.

Whilst it is unlikely he will start against the Bluebirds Rowett will consider using him on bench or playing him in one of the next two Under 21 games, on Monday or on Tuesday week, which could mean a return for the Rotherham match on Good Friday.

Rowett confirmed he will play Matt Green and Gavin Gunning in the U21 fixture with Ipswich, which takes place at St Andrew’s on Monday.

“To all intents and purposes they are all available for this weekend,” Rowett said. “I probably feel it’s a little bit too soon for any of them but we have got that opportunity, which great for us.

“Matt and Gavin have been training, they have been fine. Obviously they have been out for a long time so sometimes it’s not a quick road back to full fitness.

“They will both play a part in the U21 game coming up early next week, that is going to be important for them to get some minutes on the pitch.

“Michael Morrison has trained for a week, in terms of fitness he has obviously not missed quite as much - but he has still be out for six weeks so it still takes a little bit of time to get that sharpness back.”

Gunning has been out with a knee injury sustained in August, while Green has spent even longer on the sidelines with his own knee ligament issues - since October 2013.

But the news on Reilly is not so good. The young midfielder was injured in his first start for loan side Burton Albion.

“I said I would probably learn more about him in 90 minutes, unfortunately I will have to learn a lot about him in nine,” Rowett said.

“He has done his hamstring, I spoke to their physio, he will be back here then we will assess with both clubs as to what the best scenario is.

“But it looks like he’s going to be out for three or four weeks which for him is a little bit of a blow.”
